Hello from “Schvitzy” Chicago. 🙂
(I’m writing this from my sister’s house during a brief period of quiet: nap time.)
Something you may not know…
We love to see people make our recipes.
What’s more fun than that?
Hearing people say that our peanut sauce or our queso or our banana bread, for example, is in their rotation. That they make it once-a-week.
All of our recipes are good. Most of them are easy.
But the ones that are “in-the-rotation” are even better. They solve a problem!
Grabbable dessert for the weekend. Delectable dressing on an otherwise veggie-heavy dinner.
Let’s do more of these, eh?
Thank you for having faith in our recipes. For taking the time to see if they fit into your rotation.
And as always, thank you for reading, exploring, sharing, and subscribing.
See you next week! 🙂
Lenny and Shalva
P.S. Let us know, too, if one of our recipes is in your rotation. You can use #lifeisnoyoke on Instagram or email us at hello@lifeisnoyoke.com.
P.P.S. This week’s newsletter, like most, is inspired by conversations with our friends, family, and fans. You!
P.P.P.S. Here’s us from yesterday’s Cubs Game. Hot!
1. One simple smoothie bowl
They can be simple! Our 2-year-old nephew dressed this smoothie bowl made with Carolyne’s as a base.)
2. Two unique summer recommendations
Editors note: From both of the following recipes, you can expect to hear “omg, what’s in that?” from several your guests.
Need a summer appetizer that’s ethnic and unique? Try the mind-blowingly delicious muhammara. It’s a Middle Eastern spread featuring walnuts and pomegranates.
Need a summer sauce or marinade to top grilled goods? Look no further than an easy batch of chimichurri.
3. Three juices
We made juices on the local news this week. We should have a clip of it for you next week.
Until then, here are the three we made. Everyday green juice, a watermelon lemonade (watermelon, water, lemon, mint), and our invigorating citrus carrot juice.
